REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS DOES NOT REPRESENT THE REPORTERS OF THE WORLD, BUT THEMSELVES ALONE.

…HOW
COULD ANY SANE PERSON AGREE WITH THEIR SLOGAN, ‘FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION DOES NOT
HAVE A RELIGION’ AND THE BANNING ON THE WEARING OF THE BURQAS BY SOME MUSLIMS
IN FRANCE?

Reporters
Without Borders (RSF) – Reporters Without Sense! This is what this organization
truly is.

They
have their own goals to achieve and aims to realize and they may not be what
many other reporters especially those in the Arab and Muslim countries, would
support.

And they
had not bothered to find out just how many reporters in the world who do not
support them.

They
were quick to assume that what they were trying to do, had managed to get the
full support of the reporters elsewhere.

They did
not have the consensus to represent the reporters of the world; they are too
French and too isolated with their views and real goals too difficult for
anyone who is not French to fully comprehend or understand.

There
one cannot be faulted for charging that Reporters Without Borders (RSF) does not
represent all the reporters in the world; they do not practice democracy; they
only represent themselves.

They are
too self-serving.

They are
too French and too themselves and too alone to be able to represent anyone else
especially the reporters who are Arabs and Muslims.

It is a
surprise that they have not been condemned for promoting strange views on
journalism and the freedom of expression, which they say in their slogan,
‘Freedom of Expression does not have a religion’.

Who are they to say so? They are just French. They are Secular; so they are
against Christianity and Catholicism. They are not against Islam. Their
constitution says so and quite explicitly.

But they
are not aware of that because they are also not fully aware what a secular state
is. It is not what they think it is. It is something else.

And
journalism supports religions and religions support real and useful journalism.

It’s the
atheists who do not support real or useful journalism but anarchy.

Now they
have cartoonists, albeit, the French ones who they consider to also be
journalists who do not support religion but anarchy and they were willing to
offer their lives to prove their staunch support for their ideals however
ridiculous they may be.

Not many
reporters in the world support them and their views on many things, especially
when they try to be political and infringe on the alienable rights of those who
are not like them, the Muslims.

This is
what they say about themselves:

‘Reporters Without Borders was
founded in Montpellier, France in 1995 by four journalists, Robert Menard,
Reimy Loury, Jacques Molenat and Emeilin Jubineu. This association registered
as a non-profit organization in France
since 1995 soon took an international dimension.

Under the direction of Christophe
Deloire, Reporters Without Borders organized its team of researchers by
geographical area. The organization also gradually developed two essential and
highly specialized spheres of activity; one focused on Internet Censorship and
the New Media, and the other devoted to providing material, financial and
psychological assistance to journalists assigned to dangerous areas.

Reporters Without Borders is
registered in France
as a non-profit organization and has consultant status at the United Nations
and Unesco.’

What
they are saying here does not say much. It shows how little they know of the
rest of the world. They want to live in a secular world, the ideal world for
them, which they do not want to realize could lead to anarchy that they seem to
want to promote.

No
wonder too they have this slogan that they post on their website, ‘Freedom of
Expression has no religion’. Says who?

They
have such contorted views of what journalism is all about and what the whole
world is about.

And they
also have contorted views of cartoonists as defenders of the Freedom of Speech
and also of Expression, without realizing that cartoonists too can become
terrorists who use their pens worse than the others and especially the killers
of some cartoonists in Paris,
who use the weapons, which were all made in the west.

There is
no Arab or Muslim country that makes weapons in the same fashion as those few
countries in the west do, these countries who like to be seen as the defenders
of democracy and freedom, yet they are the best manufacturers of those weapons
that have killed so many and destroyed many countries, mostly Arab and Muslim
ones.

The
French mostly export their Airbuses, but they can never export their ideology
on journalism. Reporters Without Borders can never be exported to any Arab or
Muslim country because what they say do not make any sense to anyone who values
religion compared to the organization who can be charged for promoting atheism
and backwardness.

France is better known around the world
for exporting their Airbuses, but not their own peculiar and weird brand of
journalism and Freedom of Speech and also of Expression.

Where
can a French man or woman go to express his or her freedoms? They are even not
able to proudly show the ‘survivor’s edition’ of Charlie Hebdo to anyone
outside of France or even
carry it proudly anywhere in Paris or all over France; they
prefer to hide the copies they have.

One can
only trust and believe their President Hollande who insist that France supports
and uphold such freedoms if he shows to the media and public in Paris and
anywhere in the world the copy which he has not said he has seen or bought a
copy of.

Reporters
Without Borders too have not posted the cover of this edition of the satirical
magazine like they are proud to list and show the photos of the journalists
around the world who they claim to have been persecuted by the governments in
the countries where they work in.

The strangest
thing is how come Reporters Without Borders and the French government and their
leaders and liberal organizations seemed to support the banning of the burqas
worn by some Muslim women in the country, when this should also fall within the
ambit of the Freedom of Expression.

Sketching
the Prophet of Islam to them is okay but wearing the burqas is not
